The sophomore at Walnut Hills High School defeated two 17-year-old high school seniors on Friday's episode to become the youngest female player ever to win the tournament, which comes with a $75,000 prize.

Horn is the daughter of former Toledo residents David and Maria Horn and granddaughter of Sam and Alice Horn of East Toledo and Charles and Rachel Vandewiele of Lambertville.

Will Smith wasn't nominated for an Oscar this year, but his role in I Am Legend has earned a different "academy" award - from the cadets at the U.S. Military Academy.

Smith was named the first winner of the Cadet Choice Movie Award, which was designed to honor the fictional character that best personifies West Point leadership qualities on the silver screen.

Smith's character in the film, Army virologist Dr. Robert Neville, is the lone survivor of a zombie-making virus that devastates Manhattan.

Nominated for his "value-based leadership," Neville received 27 percent of the cadets' 2,200 online votes.

Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said in a statement the former couple have agreed to a modification of a court order that had stripped Spears of her visitation rights. The statement did not elaborate.

If the bump on her belly is any indication, Angelina Jolie really is pregnant.

The actress created a stir at Saturday night's Spirit Awards when she showed up with partner Brad Pitt on her arm and a noticeably pregnant bulge.

Jolie refused to answer reporters' questions.
